Battle to replace Justin Fields as Ohio State Buckeyes quarterback to carry over into fall

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- With spring practice in the books, Ohio State's quarterback derby will carry over into fall workouts.

That's not a surprise, considering the candidates to succeed star Justin Fields are two second-year players and a true freshman. Neither has thrown a pass in a college game.

C.J. Stroud, Jack Miller III and early-enrollee Kyle McCord all got plenty of action in Saturday's annual spring game, none gaining a clear edge. Stroud and McCord each threw two touchdown passes in the controlled scrimmage.

"This was very similar to what this whole spring has been," coach Ryan Day said.
